Using Windows 10.
This applies to versions 2.1.3 and 2.2.2 but likely is happening with all versions.
I completed two large projects of voiceover last month without this issue occurring, but for whatever reason, whenever I choose a certain speaker output now (the one I used for those entire projects), Audacity will not PLAY, RECORD, etc.
This renders it useless as an editing tool.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks,

Does this "certain speaker output" work with Windows Media Player?whenever I choose a certain speaker output now
Are you running any other audio applications? There is a WASAPI Exclusive Mode that can take-over a sound device and block everything else, so some other application may be blocking you out. And, if you are using WASAPI, try DirectSound.
